it's all sold out again now. It was the console version I got

It was there on amazon but wouldn’t add to my basket lol

Tbf I'm all sad that I can't get one but it's purely out of... A desire to have one... . There are still literally no exclusives I'm all that interested in yet so there's actually no point in me having one . I was hyped for Mileser-man but from what I've heard, it's quite short (more like a large DLC than a full game) so I'm happy enough to wait for that. If a big Sony exclusive drops before I manage to get one I'll be quite annoyed.

That said; I think this probably works the other way. Sony isn't going to drop a big exclusive while there are still console shortages... they'd be more likely to delay the game if that happened.

my first impressions are very positive. Good graphics, very responsive and the new controller is excellent

Luke got his on Tuesday, he's very happy with it

I'm assuming he just meant "order", most of the big sites seem to be opening up orders for incoming stock before they actually get it, e.g. they say "order today, delivered by [X date in a week or two]" which is different to the usual ordering structure where you'd order something already in their warehouse... but it's not (technically) a pre-order.

Yeah what TS said really, I’ve ordered for the next dispatch next week (they have it down as “pre-order”)

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Does anyone know when stock is gonna drop it’s sf annoying sifting through ginormous news articles and they say nothing anyway

Just shut the fuck up?

OK


I will remove the Link.

[user104658]

Hmmmm. I'd be tempted to pay £100 over asking price for a digital edition but they don't have those. Get it sorted Arista.

(Also I thought proper retailers upping the price wasn't legal? makes me wonder if its even legit)

[user104658]

I finally got my hands on one... I caved and bought it with a bumped up price . Not from a mass scalper though, from some bloke who got one in pre-order and has been too busy with work to even hook it up so decided to sell it on and buy one later when they're back in stock, so I don't feel TOO bad about it. It was also only £70 over RRP (some on ebay are going for RRP +£200).

ANYWAY. I finally have one! And then I was like, what can I actually play on it? But then I found out that Ghost of Toosh, which I bought on release but stopped playing after an hour because frankly the framerate was unplayable in my opinion, runs at 60fps 4k on the PS5 . Smoothe as butter! So I shall finally be playing through that until the Nier Replicant remake releases at the end of April.

The only reason i don’t wanna buy from a scalper/private seller is if owt goes wrong you’re basically stuck with it

If it’s brand new in box you can activate the warranty yourself and then just punt it to Sony if there’s a problem. Even better if you can get them to include original proof of purchase, but it’s not usually necessary, so long as no one has registered it online already. Also if it’s advertised as BNIB and turns out not to be then it was a misleading listing and you’ll probably get offered a discount (but can opt for full refund).

Not that I’m advocating going with a scalper, I’m hoping at some point the world figures out how to crack down on it because it’s just getting ridiculous. Apparently it’s well known that there scalpers out there with literally hundreds of consoles stacked in their basement, while consumers can’t buy one from retailers. Same thing is happening with high-end PC graphics cards. I’ve all but given up on getting my hands on one... and scalpers are selling for £1200+

[bots]

i had no early glitches like Slim experienced. So far so good

[Tom4784]

I got one last week from Argos, I've only had one slight issue yesterday when the screen went black for a few seconds and I got an error message, but then it went right back to normal.

Death to scalpers love!

I know, I made as sure as I could that mine was a genuine resell not a scalper. Had a convincing story, was only selling one, and was selling way under what scalpers are currently getting, so I’m as sure as I can be. I just don’t have time to constantly check back on various sites repeatedly so I was never going to get one through legit means .

Got mine at last from Amazon. Just transferring everything over.
